4x4 Holiday Gift Buyers Guide

Hours of Action
Kids can be loud and obnoxious at times, but rather than send 'em outside on a rainy day where they'll probably catch pneumonia, instead hand 'em some bearings to grease and plop them in front of the TV to watch the Superlift Off-Road Adventures TV shows that are now available on DVD. Each season includes 6 1/2 hours of 4x4 tech and adventure and covers a lot of stuff that kids should learn about trucks.
Price: $25

Steering Safely
Steering is one of the most important parts of your 4x4, so help your loved one have safe steering with this Power Steering Test Gauge from PSC. The kit includes a test port for the pressure hose, which once plumbed in can analyze the strength of the steering system. Be a good Santa and get one.
Price: $92

Power Plugs
Got someone on your list who has one of those trucks with tons of electrical add-ons? Then wrap them up the new Power Pod from BD Diesel Performance. Establish a power source for up to eight optional (four switched and four constant) electronic loads such as stereos, CB radio, GPS, lights, exhaust brakes, transmission controls, and electronic control boxes.
Price: $99.99

Mandatory Reading
Now you can extend your pleasure longer for less. An annual subscription to your favorite 4x4 magazine-the world's largest-is about as expensive as a movie ticket ($10). You'll enjoy hours of campsite and office-with-the-porcelain-chair reading by mailing in one of those pesky cards that fell out of this issue. Or subscribe for two years for only $14 and save even more compared to the $47.88 annual cover price. No pen? We'll process your order online or over the phone. Gift subscriptions, complete with personalized cards, are also available.

Go-Juice Gate
No one likes opening the fuel door of their 4x4 and pumping money in the tank, so make it a little more bearable with one of these AMP Research Alloy Fuel Doors. If your giftee is the type of person that likes a little chrome or shine on their ride, then this piece has a unique racecar-inspired look they just might go for.
Price: $100 and up

Old Laundry
Comp Cams is celebrating 30 years and bringing some cool retro style designs to your next T-shirt. Put these garments on your list of must-haves for the coming year, and show that underhood performance is close to your heart. Available from size medium up to Big Boy XXL.

Truck Time
Got a truck driver in the family who loses track of time while out in the garage? Get them a wall clock with the Chevrolet or Ford logo from LMC Truck. Clocks are 12 1/2 inches square with three-hand quartz movement, gray plastic case, and gold bezel. Clocks require one AA battery, not included. Clocks are covered by a three-year limited warranty.
Price: $25

Hands-Free Tailgating
Your tailgate is less of a slave to gravity with the EZDown damper kit. By adding hood-style dampers, the EZDown system permits controlled-descent, pop-the-release-only tailgate lowering. The dampers also assist closing by providing a counterbalance. The five-minute installation reportedly requires no special tools, and the EZDown has a quick-disconnect feature for easy removal. Applications are currently available for late-model Big Three pickups.
Price: $69.99

Wrench Sack
Proper tool storage while on the trail is a great security, and makes those muddy, cold, or inconvenient repairs in the dirt a little bit easier to bear. Poly Performance has some new Tool Wraps constructed of premium 600d Polyester and featuring a double sew hem with a hook and loop closure strap for long-lasting durability in race or trail ride conditions.
Price: $40-$45
